Topic: Cheaters never win!

Always the opportunities to cheat are everywhere. Cheating on a big test, lying on
an application for college or a job, and double-crossing a co-worker are all
everyday occurrences in the world we live in. It is too easy to be dishonest and
that's what makes it so popular. Why should a C student have to work so hard for
his grade when his friend receives an easy A by cheating? Nobody knows that the
C student is working much harder, and more honestly. The temptation to follow this
path increases, because the mediocre people like the easy thing.

People today have lost their voice, listen to their thoughts, is governed by what
other people do. This is another reason for dishonest deeds is that "everyone else
does it." A man wouldn't cheat on his taxes if he were the only one doing it. He
cheats because others do, and he deserves the same break they get. "Why should
I be the honest one when everyone else gets what they want through dishonesty?"

Whether it is in school, work or life in general, the temptation to do something

dishonest to get ahead is reinforced by many reasons, or excuses. There seems to
be no reason to work hard when everyone else steps all over you and never gets
caught cheating.

So, despite all these "benefits" of cheating, the reality is that inside the person
loses confidence in herself, never having faced a challenge with their true
capabilities, does not know what is capable. Then you cannot expect a positive
response from other people, if you do not get along well with yourself. In the end,
you can never fool yourself, this world is completely a cycle, if you cheat, do not
expect honest answers to any issue or issue that is being made. A cheating person
only has a temporary joy.
